Is Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United on TV? Time, channel ...

Nottingham Forest host Manchester United in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals tonight, as Erik ten Hag sets his sights on ending the Old Trafford club’s six-year trophy drought.

United are a resurgent force under the Dutchman and had won nine games in a row before being held at Crystal Palace and losing away to Premier League leaders Arsenal last week.

“It’s the best feeling you can have winning a trophy," Ten Hag said. "I had the luck in my career to win some trophies and it’s magnificent, especially for the fans.

"It’s so great and I think the fans here have some experience, especially the older ones. But now it is a period Manchester United didn’t win trophies and it is too long ago. We are aware of that fact and we have to do everything to bring a trophy in."
